Self care in the comfort of your own home is becoming more popular since the COVID-19 pandemic and its lockdowns.
It seems like there's no shortage of things to stress over these days. Between lockdowns and the pandemic, climate stress, the war in Europe and financial uncertainty, there's a lot to contribute to our general sense of unease. These psychological factors can take a toll on our skin as well, making signs of ageing more obvious and blemishes more frequent. Thanks to new developments in self-care and beauty technology, we’re now capable of looking after our skin ourselves, on our own schedule, and in the comfort of our own homes.
The Ellodi LED Light Therapy Mask features 198 LED lights.
1. TGA Approval: The Therapeutic Goods Association is responsible for approving medicines and medical devices; an LED mask must meet their standards to be sold in the Australian Market
2. Eye Protection: While the LED Light is not harmful to the eye, it can be overpowering to sensitive eyes. Built-in eye protection will alleviate the strain caused by the light on your eyes.
3. Flexible, Silicone Mask: this allows the LED lights to be as close to your skin as possible and will give the best results. It also makes the mask more comfortable to wear.
4. Red & Blue Lights: Having the option of both red and blue lights means you can treat any pimple or acne flare ups when they occur as well as the healing and rejuvenating powers of the red light
5. Number of LEDs: the number of lights will increase the intensity of the treatment; you should look for as many LED Lights as possible
When it comes to revitalising your skin, self-care is simple and affordable, especially thanks to new LED light therapy products that take the stress out of your skin care regime. LED Light Therapy is administered through a comfortable, flexible light mask that encourages skin rejuvenation, penetrates deep within your skins dermis to generate collagen, and revitalises your skin’s appearance. LED therapy can also even-out skin tone, pigmentation, spots, or marks.
LED light therapy uses two different types of light to work its magic. Premium Australian self care and wellbeing brand Ellodi has created an LED face mask that features red LED light to boost collagen production, improve blood flow and even skin tone, and blue light to kill bacteria and to treat the appearance of acne. Ellodi's mask has 198 LED lights for intense treatment, built-in eye shields to alleviate discomfort, and is portable, with a small pocket-sized controller and inbuilt rechargeable batteries. The treatment delivered by this flexible mask is painless and non-invasive, allowing you to relax and let it do its work. It’s also not a time-drain, with only three 10 minute sessions per-week needed to achieve results.
Just three ten-minute LED therapy sessions per week will produce results that you can see.
The Ellodi range of self care products is both effective and beautifully designed.

When cleaning your face, you really can’t go past a silicone cleanser, the bristles bend and glide over your skin to gently draw dirt and impurities. The massage provided by the bristles also encourages blood flow which will boost your skin tone and keep your skin vibrant and healthy.

Another useful home beauty device that Ellodi offers is Cryotherapy Facial Spoons. These cooling spoons de-puff and provide a firming effect on your skin, allowing you to 'renew you', with the added bonus of looking like modernist art pieces when they're not in use.
Cryotherapy is any form of cold therapy, where cold devices are placed directly on the skin. Cryotherapy or cold therapy can be used anywhere on the body for various benefits, it is often used to treat a bump, bruise, cut or muscle strain, as it restricts blood flow, decreases inflammation and numbs pain.
Cryotherapy will decrease redness, reduce puffiness and boost skin tone. You may also find over time that cold therapy will lift, sculpt and tighten your skin, especially around your neck and jawline.
You could spend hundred on cryotherapy facial at a professional therapist, or you could achieve firmer skin at home for a fraction of the cost. Home cryotherapy is best done with cryotherapy spoons or globes. Stainless steel is the quickest to cool, and offers the most efficient method of cryotherapy.
How to use Cryotherapy spoons
Morning is a great time to indulge in cryotherapy with the immediate benefits of reducing eye puffiness, shrinking pores, firming your skin and promoting a healthy glow. It is the ideal base treatment prior to applying your makeup.
It is also a great treatment to use in conjunction with sheet masks. Apply your hydrating mask then use cryotherapy spoons over the mask to help stimulate blood flow, reduce redness and seal the serum into your skin.
Massaging the face from the centre outwards also encourages lymphatic drainage, so you may also find it beneficial at the end of the day or after a big weekend.
